("Asian Resource"), is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") with Nesscap, Inc.

Successful Completion of Transaction

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Merger Agreement with Nesscap dated September 10, 2009, as further amended (the "Merger Agreement"), the Qualifying Transaction proceeded by way of a reverse take-over transaction which was effected through a merger and share exchange under the corporate law of the State of Delaware. Under the Merger Agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Asian Resource merged with and into Nesscap and Nesscap, as the surviving entity, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Asian Resource. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, securityholders of Nesscap (other than Nesscap securityholders properly exercising appraisal rights under Delaware Law) received 82.0598 common shares of the Company in exchange for each common stock of Nesscap and 82.0598 series 1 preferred shares of the Company in exchange for each outstanding preferred stock of Nesscap (collectively, the "Share Exchange"). In addition, under the Merger Agreement, all outstanding warrants to purchase Nesscap common were assumed by the Company. All outstanding options (the "Nesscap Options") to purchase Nesscap common stock were exercised upon or prior to the Share Exchange and therefore no Nesscap Options were assumed by the Company.

In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, the Company issued 125,061,107 common shares ("Common Shares") and 18,304,341 series 1 preferred shares ("Preferred Shares") to the shareholders of Nesscap. 58,665,122 of these Common Shares and all Preferred Shares have been deposited into escrow and will be released pursuant to the release schedules contained in the escrow agreements between the Company, the Company's escrow agent, Equity Financial Trust Company, and those certain former shareholders of Nesscap who hold such escrowed securities. All such escrow agreements are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

In addition, options to purchase Common Shares have been granted to each of the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer, Paul Haber, and Morganbridge Communications Inc. to respectively acquire 100,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.30 per Common Share.
